With the help of chefs and local farmers, we had a mission to create the tastiest meals for those training with us. Over time we perfected the taste and nutrition of our meals by using the highest quality ingredients. This gave our clients amazing results and incredible tasting meals.

I specialize in supporting healthcare professionals and other helpers, who give everything to everyone else and have little leftover for themselves. My approach is holistic and relational, rooted in systemic theory and influenced by Bowenian, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) principles.

Through a collaborative and compassionate process, I help clients build emotional resilience, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with a grounded sense of self. I offer individual therapy for adults via secure telehealth throughout Colorado.
